Yes. The .tpl files are "starter" templates - plain templates that often work OK for simple sites. They can be used direct, or they can be used as a starting point for your own templates - which are always stored in the CMSMS database and edited within the admin area.

aelynne, you ask a lot of (short) questions but you don't seem to have read any documentation. Documentation is available:

- sample content that you can install with CMSMS contains lot of useful information
- Documentation pages e.g. http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/layout/ex ... e-template
- This forum (it has search functionality)

Please invest some time yourself before asking basic questions.

No it will not (of course).

A website contains web pages (content pages). A content page is based on a page template. A page template could/should contain a {menu} tag.

If you do NOT use the 'template' parameter in the {menu} tag the default template will be used! In that case make sure you make the imported Menu Manager template that you customize default.

If you use the 'template' parameter you should of course point that to your customized template.
